WIN: International students who studied in Canada now have an easier time gaining permanent residency

International students who completed a post-secondary program in Canada have the skills, knowledge, and networks to succeed in Canada and contribute to the country’s economy. However, prior to this change, completing your post-secondary education in Canada gave you no extra advantages over those who did their education elsewhere, in helping you gain permanent residency.

Thanks to our advocacy work in this area, government now recognizes the immense value that a Canadian education brings, and awards these students more “points” in the point-based immigration system.
